Description

Set on an oversized, beautifully landscaped lot, this remarkable home blends rich history with modern comfort. The main residence is a showpiece, boasting soaring ceilings, three spacious bedrooms each with private ensuites, a formal living room, formal dining room, den, & a charming sunroom ideal for entertaining. Expansive front porches & a serene back porch invite quiet moments with morning coffee or afternoon tea. The property features a detached garage flanked by two guest suites—one fully remodeled in 2025. Originally built in 1861 as a modest two-room dwelling, the home was dramatically transformed in the 1880s. In 1911, the property was purchased by John & Emma Hastedt, remaining in the Hastedt family until 1989. The current owners then took over the estate from the Hastedt family, carrying forward its tradition of careful stewardship.
